Tensions Escalate In Middle East Conflict
The US military has struck targets in Iran, prompting Tehran to fire back with missiles and drones, as hostilities flare once again in the Middle East. The renewed conflict comes after a month of relative calm, and has resulted in reported civilian casualties. The US Central Command said the strikes were in response to Iranian aggression against commercial vessels and American troops in the region. The situation was first reported by The Associated Press.
